Could you recommend a bridge pickup for my 27" baritone guitar? I primarily play in B standard tuning. The current pickup is a Lundgren M6, but I find it far too bright and am very unhappy with its overall sound.

What are the best reverb and delay pedals in the 50-100 range? Any brand.

>>127497110
I don't know if you'll find one that does both well at that range, but a used boss rv5 can go for 80-100

Boss does well in that price range on both. You can buy gently used to get you in that price range.

thingken bout selling my CIJ Mustang and my Revstar, maybe one of my Strats. They’re cool guitars, just redundant with what I’ve got. I want a second Tele because those are just my favorite, or maybe an amp from Carr. It’s easy to sell gear that you don’t really care for or gear that has something you don’t like about it, but hard selling gear that you genuinely like when the only issue is too many redundant guitars. I’m running out of room for guitars and I want to consolidate some of my lower and middle tier guitars into one nicer one or one nicer amp. I wish I had space for infinite guitars and infinite money to buy infinite guitars

Not according to my guy Rhett. Y'all just keep that same energy. Anyways, this next track feature my Washburn strat. I scalloped the fret board by hand with a curved file. Sanded the fretboard's surface smooth, painted it with enamel paint. I took out the electronics and epoxy'd a piezo pickup in the cavity. Cut a piece of vinyl tile from the hardware store in the shape of a pick guard.

It's great. I like it a lot. It's very clean, and on the lower end of dirt/overdrive. If you want really nasty distortion you might not like it. Yes, I would say it's responsive but I haven't got a lot of other pedals to compare it to. I'm very happy with it and I'd recommend.

>>127498946
Cool your jets my guy. He said Janeson. You seem to be on the lookout for people "stepping", leading to hyper focus. I once got in a fist fight with a guy because I thought he was mocking me with the pattern of his blinks. Got 2 (two) years for that one. I've served a total of 8 years incarcerated. Made guitars out of popsicle sticks, laminated paper (you can get glue in prison for arts and crafts. You just glue pieces of paper together and let them dry, and repeat. Do it around a mold if you want a shape), with braided elastic for strings. He was a good friend.

Do singers improvise after the music is made or do they actually write notes and such down?

Here's what I've settled on for the time being. I also have an idea of some pedals to add eventually.

In short, I want a Yamaha Pacifica 112V in Vintage white, with a humbucker sized P90 in the bridge. I also wanna try really heavy strings and get it set up by a pro.

This is my dream setup for the moment.

Cheers~

>>127499054
Good question. I have wondered that as well. I have heard people like Micheal Jackson composed with their voice. Meaning he started with notes from his voice, and built from there. That is not common as far as I can tell. A songwriter may occasionally write lyrics and chords. The songwriter is skilled in musicianship, so the rhythm, and melody (struming/vocals), can be improvised. They can chose to focus on any element and orchestrate it. But generally it can be done on the spot. And each of these approaches can be purposefully utilized to get a different outcome, be it good or bad.

Been returning to tradition and playing my Strat more

>>127495594
retard take

>>127499162
I guess a better question would be how to sing in a way that fits with the music?
I'm probably overcomplicating this, I'm sure that the best singers just had an intrinsic understanding of melody and rhythm and knew how to sing that song but I don't know if I have that because I haven't made my own music yet.

Anyone here use one of these?

>cant afford mechanized rimjobs

>>127499219
Lot of songwriters seem to start with singing melodies. If you're a person who hums random tunes, then it's the same thing. A lot of frontmen know how to play guitar too, and later add a little accompaniment. They're just not shredders or like being restricted on stage.
To use one example, Danzig isn't known for guitars, but afaik he writes the basic outlines of many of his song parts. He carries a vocal recorder around and any vocal melody that comes to him will be quickly recorded. Then he'll go back to working on it and start adding basic guitar lines and fleshing out lyrics. But he has better guitarists to make it complete.
Bowie was similar, but played guitar more and came up with skeletal outlines of his songs just from strumming around. Lyric wise, he used William Burroughs' cut up method. He'd write down shit, tear up the pieces, and then rearrange lines to whatever just sounded good. Not all of it was meant to be coherent.

>>127499210
>t. cant beat rosewood

>>127499219
You have to actually practice that kind of thing. Loop a chord progression or play a backing track and hum or la la la over it. Like improv for your voice. You'll probably sound shitty at first, but it takes time. Then figure those vocal melodies out on guitar.

>>127498827
>>127499257
Really makes you think

What do we think of The Edge?

>>127499385
I think he's cool. Bono is annoying, but I don't hate him as much as some do.
The Edge carried the (single coil) Strat sound in his own way through the 80s and deserves more cred for that. And like him or hate him, he stands out. You know exactly who it is when he's playing.

>>127495020 (OP)
Marshall MG50DFX. I hear a lot of complaints about it online. But based on the comparisons between it and a DSL I think it sounds better. Are they really that bad?

>>127499430
ehx, dod, mxr, and fender are not boutiques nigga

>>127499421
You'll be a lot happier with it using a humbucker guitar. Imo, it's a bit on the thin and tinny side, so a fat guitar sound won't suffer much. Marshall tube amps with a Fender sound cool, but I don't think it transfers to solid state. Probably a lot of solid state doesn't. Maybe it's all in my head.

>>127499468
yeah, i was planning on pairing it with an epiphone les paul studio with humbuckers. good to know. i guess im kind of torn between getting a les paul with p90s vs humbuckers and i still havent decided but i think im probably going with humbuckers.
lol, one of the comments i read under a humbuckers vs p90 video was like, "when you're young, humbuckers and distortion, when you get older, p90s and a little bit of overdrive"

>>127499563
tabs?

>>127499324
But it seems like Bowie sang in a way that was completely different to how the melody in a song went.
Listen to Heroes for example, the pitch in the song stays the same but he ends up basically screaming emotionally towards the end of the song.
Now I'm wondering how much harmony even matters for singing in a song

>>127499621
I don't know the process on Heroes. I just know he played his acoustic a lot and did the cut up method with lyrics. He didn't consider himself a great singer, but he had a naturally massive range (something like 3 and half octaves, similar to Elvis). I don't know how much thought he put into the vocal melody itself, but he could play with that range a lot.

>>127499561
Use the fear. That's what my life partner told me.

i really like the d’addario ej16 strings. the right amount of grip for pulling off

>>127499661

>>127499456
those are very clearly boutiques, i can tell by looking at them, in the same way pabst blue ribbon is an ipa

10 octaves?
even if you could hit a low 40Hz note, you'd have to hit almost 41Khz for the top of the 10 octave range

>>127501888
JB sounds great in a tele, lots of guys play those.

Why do I get a much better and cleaner sound, especially high gain, if I turn down gain a bit and put a tube screamer in front instead?
Genuine question. I now know that I like this sound a lot more, but I still don't really understand how overdrive pedals are supposed to fit into the equation or why this sounds so much better.

>>127502996
tube screamer acts as a boost and a bass-cut
you're probably liking it cause it pulls all the useless low end out of the signal so your amp isn't farting out the sub frequencies

>>127503141
Tube screamers are also noisy as fuck so idk what he’s talking about when he says his tone is “clean”

>>127503141

>>127503159
I mean depends what you mean by noisy.
If you don't like the word cleaner in this sense, maybe clearer would be more suitable. Other than that I don't know what you mean. Definitely less of the bad kind of noise.

>>127503231
For the last time: My tubes are NOT faulty.

>>127503141
I bought a high gain pedal to dirty a clean amp and a tube screamer to use as boost. I wanted to have them in that order but stupidly, I accidentally reversed them. Ts did nothing, barely an audible difference. The other day I corrected the order and boom, it works. Gets so much louder now. Though I'm not too keen on the tone, need to fiddle with it to see if I can make it sound better.

Why do zoomers call everything shredding now even if they just strum basic chords slowly.

why can I play semiquavers at 200 bpm dead on, but can't do triplets at 266 in time

this dude is so fucking autistic about Cobains tone.

Dave isn't jewish he attends the same church as my brother

My dream guitar is a hot pink jackson neck through strat

>>127504416
Your brother goes to synagogue?
>>127504397
All these videos about Nirvana guitar tones are retarded, Boss DS1 and EHX Small Clone is all you need for 90% of it all because Turdt Cobain used those two pedals extensively.

>>127504436
He goes to a non denominational church my brother hates jews more than me so if he went to a synagogue it would be to take a shit

>>127504397
Cobains tone was pure shit babbys first guitar tone and never evolved.

>>127499074
why not buy a cheaper guitar? the point of the 112v is that it's an amazing guitar for $400 from a reputable manufacturer. Why throw away all of the hardware an electronics on it? You could buy practically any guitar for less than $200 and have the same basic result.

>>127499324
Danzig a real ass nigga

>>127501656
Looks good man.

>>127501108
a man of taste

>>127504527
Maybe he likes the looks, the 112V electronics are hardly anything worth talking about and a $100-$200 guitar will certainly have a worse neck and fret treatment
That being said I'd still rather buy a good guitar than buying a 112V with $400 worth of mods

>>127504592
Seems like there's plenty of cheap guitars with decent fretwork. $800 gets you something nice. $800 on a used guitar gets you an endgame guitar as long as you aren't chasing gibshit or antique fender.

>>127504642
>plenty of cheap guitars with decent fretwork
Haven't seen anything at $200 with a decent fret job (no sharp edge sticking out, no gap etc) but who knows

>>127504668
I have a Firefly like that, it's not perfect but as far as frets go, no tall ones, and they are the rounded kind clipped on the sides. Harley Benton is also pretty good, similar frets.

tele or jag?

>>127504816
Tele but love them both. Tele stands on its own and can do anything, Jag is a little more nuanced. A Jag is a great option to complement your main guitar that you’ve already got.

since you're getting less guitar in your guitar, why are hollow bodies so expensive?

>>127504914
cool guitars cost more

>>127504914
Takes more time to remove wood/built a guitar around an empty cavity than it does to just route out some holes on a slab of wood

If anything how are acoustic guitars relatively the same prices as electric guitars despite being much more complicated to make

so you're not bending and gluing planks of wood together then, just arbitrarily carving out the wood

>no videos online about replacing a neck humbucker inside a pickguard with a single coil
The more I look into this, the more difficult it seems to be. I don't want to drill anything or cut my pickguard up, nor do I want it to look weird and empty. I was hoping there would be an adapter I can plug the single coil into so it fills out the cavity inside the pickguard nicely, but it seems like it doesn't exist.

>>127505014
>I was hoping there would be an adapter I can plug the single coil into
Yeah it's called buying a new pickguard

>>127505014
Just buy a new pickguard wtf?

I can feel myself get closer

>>127505066
>>127505176
It's a Squier, so all the standard Fender pickguards don't fit. I'd have to drill new holes and plug the old ones.

>>127504455
Yeah because the CIA took him out when he was just getting rolling. I think of him every time I click my Ds-1. Simple as. Thing is the world didn't deserve what he would have given us. If you don't like Kurdt I got a problem with you.

>>127505209
You gonna step, homie? I think Kurdt was a goober. How bout dat?

>>127505198
Which squier exactly? Even if it doesn't fit I'm sure you can get one custom cut

>>127505227
You just got your ass green-lit. I'm calling the shots now. Good luck sucka.

>>127505230
Contemporary Telecaster. The problem is, I already paid like 100€ for this custom made pickguard and getting another one would be madness. I could get a new guitar for the amount of money I spent on this one.

I found these P90s in humbucker size. I measured the cavity in my pickguard at around 70mm. The spec says these are 70,4mm. I hope it fits and I can still adjust the height. I'm also getting a soldering set. Hopefully this won't be too difficult.

Whoa you guys seein' this?

>>127505259
>I already paid like 100€ for this custom made pickguard and getting another one would be madness.
So just buy an uncut blank, trace your current one on top of it, and drill/cut it out? This is like a 20 minute job

>>127505284
Calm down.

>>127505259
Have you considered not making shit harder for yourself next time

>>127505316
And if I don't, big hass? You gonna "do me in"?

Everybody just cool your jets. It's only rock and roll.

>>127505342
/gg/ is a Western swing general

>>127505284
That would require another "1 time use tool", a pickguard cutter?

>>127505320
It's obviously fun to work on a guitar like this. What messes with my head is the amount of "1 time tools" I'm getting for all these jobs. I have stuff like a fret-hammer, fret file and other things I'm probably never going to use again.
I am also watching all these guitar modification videos. For example I've seen how much work it is to re-fret a guitar. I've also read that frets can get worn out and that's got me wondering if all of these modifications are worth it if the guitar is going to end up being unplayable anyway.

>>127505350
what is a “razor blade” or “X-acro knife” for $500, Alex

>>127505348
I like both kinds of music, country and western.

>>127505330
Maybe I will.

>>127505429
Bet

Oh no /gg/

>>127505375
$500 is way too much just buy a new pickguard

>>127505446
Is it already that time a/gg/ain?

Uh... Don't look in the catalo/gg/ bros... Just saying

>>127505259
Wait, these don’t even have pickguards in the first place?

>>127503709
because gibsons all have the same fretboard radius and it's built into the saddle

>>127503709
Mustangs also have fixed bridges. It's a good design.

Things have never
Been so swell
I have never
Felt so well...

I know nothing about bass, so my tone sounds like absolute dogshit. What can I do to have a cleaner sound? Amp settings, pedals, EQ, anything.
I know it's quite horribly played, but the lack of skill goes unnoticed in the mix, as I'm mostly just playing the root notes.

>>127505553
>too much drive/too little headroom
Thanks. I'll lower the gain and raise the volume instead.
>sounds like tone knob is all the way off
It's all the way up, just like the volume, but it's only a shitty brandless bass that I purchased for 50€ used.

>>127505651
maybe the pot is wired backwards or something

>/gg/ can't into tools to make a single pickguard for a squier
fatherless behavior

>>127505690
Could be. But to be honest I'm very tone-deaf. I'll look into and rewire/replace it. Thanks, anon.

>>127505700
You ok bro?

>>127505531
kek

>>127505754
I'm pretty fucking far from ok

Does weight really matter? Or is it more about comfort? What weight should I go for on a tele?

>>127505754
better than, this is peak

>>127505778
comfort. i like medium weight acoustics. really light acoustics resonate more but it also means there's less bracing material

>>127505778
I like guitars in the 7.5-8.5lb range personally. Do whatever you like best.

Huh…

Is it true tube amps are the best?
Is it true the tubes have to be replaced?
Is it true that when recording music, it’s best to record with a mic next to an amp as opposed to recording directly into my pc via audio interface?

>>127505806
I do like that color with the pickguard installed. I'm usually anti pickguard.

>>127505834
yes
yes
depends

Is there anything sub $500 dollars that's close to a tube amp that's not a tube amp? Only reason I'm going for that is being I honestly live on a shit power grid and don't want to worry about tubes getting blown. It'd really only for practice, I'd get something better for gigs if I ever make it that far.

Is this a decent beginner/midrange guitar?
I got a banged up Epi I've been using to practice, but it's not staying in tune anymore

If not a good option, what's the best entry level guitar? I want something that is versatile (able to perform decently in several genres of music) and will last me for a long while, because I'm not sure I'll ever reach the point where investing in a Fender/Gibson makes sense to me

>>127505933
I had an Ibanez Gio series, the GSA60. It was my first guitar.
I remember the fretwork being good, no sharp edges, no leveling issues. I didn't like the neck, it was too thin for my taste, but bear that in mind if it's important to you. The bridge was floating and I didn't like that eventually, so I blocked it off. I can't remember if I had any tuning issues, but probably not, since I reckon I'd remember it in that case. I see yours is a fixed one, so it shouldn't be an issue on that model. I remember one of the pots stopped working on mine, but my relative fixed it (no idea if he had to re-solder anything). That's the only downside I had on mine.

If you want versatility, I'd recommend an HSS guitar. I was lucky enough to pick one as my first guitar and I realized that later on.

>>127505853
Depends on what?
Also- are replacing the tubes expensive?

>>127505561
>>127505563
>>127505761
I like the sounds of acoustic bass but I just want a slightly smaller body so I can comfortably play.

>>127506167
So you just have to eat the $170 you spent on shipping and insurance?

>>127506167
get a uke bass

>>127506181
I used affirm for this and it was no money down. So I think maybe I'll have to pay shipping going back.

>>127506249
So you'll have to eat the original $170 plus additional shipping and insurance cost?

>>127506470
I didnt pay anything to get it sent to me. I used affirm. Reverb will probably send me a label to use for the return. I've never had to pay for shipping to send anything back yet
